Concerning the amended article 116, paragraph 2, of the Greek Constitution, the 1975 Constitution had provided for “deviation” from the principle of equal rights in special circumstances with a view to reinforcing the protection afforded to women, but in practice that provision had often been used to discriminate against them, whence the need for the amendment.
